Thanks again rsal27!!! I was thinking about school nursing but it's so hard to get on at the schools in my area due to the qualifying years of experience required and the lack of available positions. However, I have read on some of the discussions that new grads have ended up in school nurse positions. I will still give it a shot if something becomes available.

rsal27, Yes I have a BSN. I will definitely look into those areas you mentioned. Do you know where I could find more info on other careers where I can utilize my nursing degree. Because I want to try and use the degree I already have because I worked so hard for it and I don't want it to be a waste. I know that sounds crazy right, but I've tried searching online and can't seem to come up with anything.

Thanks everyone!!! I went to bed crying and woke up crying. I've prayed on it and I told myself I'll try and give it a little more time and re-evaluate in 6 months. During this time I'll try and save up some money just in case I decide to do something different.

Currently wondering what else I could do with my nursing degree. While I am thankful that God saw me through nursing school, I have been miserable ever since I graduated in 2012. I know that I have only been a nurse for approximately 2 years, I am just not satisfied with my career at the moment. After graduating I obtained a position on a Med-Surg unit where I spent about 6 months until I reached my breaking point, it was just too stressful plus my mother was very ill at the time, so I ended up quitting and took another job as an Adolescent Psych nurse, which I can say I kind of enjoyed, despite having to do my job and everybody else's. I worked as a psych nurse for 7 months until I was terminated due to another nurse making false accusations against me (due to the fact that I had recently reported her for not completing her work which was always falling on me). So after being terminated I kind of took some time to myself as I had also just experienced my mother passing a few months before I was terminated. After a few months I went back to Med-Surg PRN and also picked up a home health position. I just don't think nursing is for me anymore and I don't know what to do. I feel stuck in a career I don't love.
